Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 372 Experimenting with a New Curse

When Eddie Merrick left the Spellcaster Academy, his identity was fully confirmed.

After discussing it with the young wizard, and learning that Eddie still wanted to stay in Blue City to study magic, Moon stopped trying to persuade him.

In any case, for him, helping this kid join the spellcaster academy was a way of repaying the kindness of collecting materials in the forest to make a wand.

"Alright, you need to return to the academy on time in three days. That's when you'll start taking real magic lessons."

Pierre stayed close to Eddie, still thinking about how to recruit Moon to be his bodyguard.

After completing his recruitment task, he will likely arrange to go to the front lines himself.

Especially now that the court mages of the Menila Empire have caused such a commotion within the Federation.

The federal spellcasters will certainly have to do something.

Infiltrating into the empire to cause sabotage is certainly one of the methods used.

By then, having a guardian capable of hunting down Night Owl Guardians would greatly increase Pierre's chances of survival.

"By the way, Mr. Scarlett, is there anywhere you'd like to go? I can show you around Blue City."

"No need, I need to find someone I know in Jinglan City next."

"Oh, I see. Are you going back to my residence tonight?"

A look of disappointment flashed across Pierre's face.

"Of course, I will return on time."

"That's wonderful. I'll have the servants clean your room."

After receiving Moon's agreement, Pierre happily accompanied Merrick and his sister as they left the Spellcaster Academy.

As for Moon, after strolling around the city center and making sure that no one was following him, he turned around and went to the nearby Federal Military Academy.

The decorations of this academy were not as luxurious as those of the spellcaster's academy; the black and white architectural style revealed a rigorous approach.

However, similar to the Spellcaster Academy, there is also a huge statue of Marshal Antolov in the square just inside the entrance.

The statue here has a very serious face, and its eyes reveal an undeniable strength.

Using the identity created by Pierre, Moon entered the academy after registering.

After inquiring about Jay's grade, Moon headed towards the dormitory building to the east.

Since school hasn't started yet, there aren't many people in the college, and most students from remote areas are concentrated in the dormitories.

Just as Moon was about to go upstairs to look for it, he suddenly heard a sound that piqued his interest from not far away.

“I’ve already told you, this is what the Crusaders want.”

You'd better be sensible! Otherwise...

"Hey~, don't be rough with your junior."

"Kid, remember this: Senior Robin won't just steal your things. As long as you can reveal where the clothes came from, everything is negotiable."

Moon followed the sound.

They found three tall, burly students in the corner, surrounding a boy who was slumped on the ground.

The group seemed to have gotten into a conflict over something.

“But you promised me you would take me to find my father, and that’s why I gave you the clothes.”

The little boy, slumped on the ground, had most of his face obscured by his disheveled hair. His hands, clenched into fists, lay prostrate on the ground, as if he were about to burst out at any moment.

"Of course, I did promise you, but as you know, we need the consent of many people to get those officers on the front lines to turn a blind eye."

"Here's what we'll do: if you can produce two more identical black leather jackets, I'll take you to the military camp in the north of the city. This time, I promise."

Upon hearing this, the boy, who was slumped on the ground, paused, raised his head, and stared intently at the student who had spoken.

"But I really don't have any of these clothes, and you promised to take me there today."

"Ha, Jay Scarlett, you probably don't know the origin of that garment. If others knew the details, you could be court-martialed. That's the Empire... um."

A tall student was about to reach out and grab the boy on the ground by the collar when he felt his hand slowly stiffen.

"What's going on?"

The other two students also noticed something was wrong.

Before they could even cry for help, the effects of the Petrification Curse had already spread throughout their bodies.

The teenager in the crowd had no idea what was going on.

Then he saw the three students who often bullied him, and they looked terrified.

"Jay? Is that you?"

Hearing someone call his name, the boy turned around abruptly.

A boy a head taller than him, dressed in a black suit, with a strange creature perched on his shoulder, walked slowly toward him with a smile on his face.

"You are."

"Moun, what's wrong? Don't you remember me?"

In fact, Moon and his cousin had been separated for more than three years.

If those three boys hadn't called out Jay's name, he wouldn't have dared to come up and acknowledge him.

"Cousin, it really is you! And these..."

As Jay spoke, he stood up and pointed to the three people beside him who were frozen in place and unable to move.

"It's just a small punishment for them. By the way, why were you cornered here by them?"

Upon hearing Moon's explanation, Jay curiously touched the three stone statues and, after discovering that they were indeed immobile, squeezed through the gaps in the crowd and emerged.

“They are all family members of the Crusaders. I originally wanted to see my father through them, but I didn’t expect them to lie to me. I was furious, so…”

After Jay's explanation, Moon finally understood what his cousin had been going through over the past six months.

It turned out that after Neil was transferred to Jinglan City, he and his father frequently corresponded with each other.

The two even spent several days strolling around Jinglan City, a very pleasant time.

But later, for some unknown reason, Neil could no longer leave the military camp.

Although Neil reassured his son that everything was alright, Jay still kept trying to find a way to see his father.

Upon learning that the army guarding Neil was a Crusader mercenary force, Jay had a student with connections to the Crusaders bring him into the camp.

Although the other party agreed readily at first, they immediately rejected Jay after asking further questions.

The boy was also impatient, so he directly pawned the clothes that Mu En had taken from the Night Owl Guard to the student.

And then things turned out the way Moon sees them today.

"They treat you like this, and the professors at the college don't care?"

As he spoke, Moon extended his wand and tapped it on Jay's clothes.

【Refreshed】After being swept, the dust on Jay's body was completely gone.

Then came another [Rapid Healing] spell, and the wounds on his face disappeared.

"Wow, of course we'll take care of it, but school hasn't started yet, and the professors have all left the school."

Jay looked at his clothes in surprise as he spoke.

After confirming that this was not a trick, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"This is too amazing, Cousin Moon. Have you really become a spellcaster? Does that mean they can release Father if you just say the word?"

Seeing the excited Jay, Moon reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I've already seen my uncle, and his condition is much better than you think."

As Moon spoke, he tilted his head to look at the three statues behind Jay.

"Since your professors don't handle these matters, I'll have to take care of them for now."

As he spoke, Moon removed the Petrification Curse from the three of them.

"Who are you? How dare you barge into the Federal Military Academy!"

“He’s definitely a spy from another country. Seize him and take him to the security room.”

"Jay, you've actually teamed up with outsiders to bully your classmate! You'll be expelled!"

Watching the three of them rattle off a long string of words, Mu En rubbed his ears, then unleashed three [Throat-Sealing Tongue-Locking] spells. "Ugh."

"Hmm~"

Simply by having their ability to speak disabled, the three students lost their previous arrogance.

First, he was terrified, then he wanted to beg for mercy.

This is not the scene Moon wanted to see.

Then came three more "inverted bell" challenges, and the three students immediately floated upside down to a height of five or six meters.

"Well"

"Well!"

At that moment, the three students' faces turned pale, even though they usually practiced overcoming obstacles and hanging upside down.

However, being controlled by magic is fundamentally different from being trained.

At least the latter can still control their own body.

Jay kept watching from behind Moon.

Only when the three men's faces were completely drained of color did he finally show a relieved expression.

Jay then discovered that two of the three had urinated.

Hanging upside down.
Moon didn't want to see a disgusting scene, so he used his wand to make all three of them turn their backs to him.

What are the punishments for bullying or extorting classmates at your school?

Although the three had surrendered by sprinkling water, Moon was not about to let them off so easily.

After all, he hadn't even beaten his younger brother yet, and now he was being bullied by others. This was unacceptable.

"You will be expelled from school and never hired again."

"Just expulsion? That's not enough."

Moon's words reached the ears of the three "frequent flyers".

They had seen many spellcasters' magic before, but they had never seen anyone control a human body so easily.

Especially after hearing Moon's words, the three of them, who had been flailing their limbs, straightened up and stopped moving, as if begging for mercy.

As Moon was pondering how to punish the three students, a spell suddenly drifted into his mind.

"Although Professor Flitwick did not agree, I might be able to try it out here in advance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Moon awkwardly waved his wand.

After several attempts, Moon finally managed to cast the spell created by the Weasley twins.

"what is this?"

Seeing that the previous spells had no effect, Jay curiously leaned over and asked.

"Don't rush, you'll see the birth of a new spell. Oh, by the way, you can skip it if you can't stand it."

"Vermiculus Eruptus"

A spell was cast on the student in the center, and then Moon saw three streams of snot raining down.

Fortunately, the three of them had their backs to Moon, otherwise he himself might have been disgusted.

As for why there were three, Moon guessed it was because of the upside-down position that some insects were sprayed out of his nasal cavity.

Of course, Moon would never turn the three of them back to verify.

To Jay's astonishment, Moon cast two more [Slug Spray Spells] in quick succession.

Soon, a large number of sticky black worms accumulated under the heads of the three people.

Bouncy stood on Moon's shoulder, already covering its eyes with its two little paws.

As a magical creature, it doesn't have any ill feelings towards slugs.

But seeing such a dense group of creatures made Bouncy feel uncomfortable.

As Moon decided to punish the three further, Beng Beng turned around and looked behind Moon.

"Chirp~" (A familiar face has arrived.)
"acquaintance?"

Moon also turned his head to look curiously.

He remembered that when he entered the military academy, most of the students had gone out, and very few people came in.

"What happened here? Why did you make such a commotion?"

A deep, elderly voice came from behind the flower wall in the square.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Moon smiled gently.

Then a familiar figure emerged from behind the flower wall.

"This is."

Layton had just come from the Spellcaster Academy, where he was appointed as the vice-principal and concurrently served as the dean of the Military Academy.

Today I was just thinking of observing the future office environment.

But unexpectedly, they saw several legs lying upside down in the distance.

Out of curiosity, I rushed over and heard a strange rustling sound.

Before he could finish asking the question, Layton Gavin immediately bent down under the flower wall and began to vomit profusely.

"What the hell is this? What are you guys doing?!"

Jay immediately stood up straight when he saw Layton Gavin's outfit, especially the three gold stars on his shoulders.

"Sir, it was just me and three senior students playing around. Nothing serious happened."

As Jay spoke, he stepped in front of Moon, wanting to take all the blame.

However, he overestimated his height, and Moon behind him was now looking at Layton Gavin, who was crouching down, with his entire face exposed.

It wasn't until the federal lieutenant general had calmed down that he recognized a familiar face.

"Playing around?! Are you trying to conceal military intelligence?! Or do you think you can take the blame for someone else? No way!"

"Yes, General, I can take full responsibility, but please investigate what happened today."

Jay remained standing ramrod straight, responding meticulously to Layton Gavin's words.

The general had already turned his gaze to the boy behind him.

"What wind blew you here? Now that you're in Jinglan City, why don't you come visit me?"

Layton Gavin walked over quickly, ignoring the unsuspecting Jay, and shook hands with Moon.

"I just arrived and haven't had a chance to explore Jinglan City yet."

Moon did not reveal his true purpose for coming, after all, he had not yet figured out the complicated situation in Jinglan City.

As for why he didn't avoid Layton Gavin, one reason was for Jay.

After all, having punished three students today, Moon couldn't guarantee they wouldn't escalate the situation.

If things get out of control, Jay definitely won't be able to handle the consequences.

So Moon planned to find someone who could solve the problem, and Layton Gavin just happened to be the one.

The second reason is that Moon wanted to know everything about Neil in Blue City, and someone with a military background was the best way to get in.

In addition, this lieutenant general had always coveted Moon's magic, and even sent his granddaughter to Star Ember Island to enroll in the school.

This is also a place that Moon can take advantage of.

"Oh, I see. I was worried about you."

Layton glanced at the student in front of Moon as he spoke, then swallowed his words.

He couldn't say anything detrimental to the Federation in front of the students.

Jay, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.

Lieutenant General of Samsung, high-ranking officer of the Federal Army, and Dean of the Military Academy
She was so respectful to her own brother!

Is this still the Federation I know?
